There’s only one problem: Jana’s boyfriend is still alive, and Jana will do anything to get him into Dead School with her, even plot to kill him with the help of a bad boy she meets in Dead School. But what Jana doesn’t know is that her boyfriend might have more to do with her death than she thinks. I really liked this book. It was comedic and dark at the same time, and kept me laughing and reading.  High School, Middle School.  ADVISABLE. Student Reviewer: AL
